Fab Freebie: Merry Maxx-mas

***This giveaway is no longer accepting entries – scroll down to see who won!***

You know we love a deal. Especially around the holidays when it’s so easy to bleed money. Which is why we’re psyched to have two of our favorite discount stores, T.J. Maxx and Marshalls, here to help us kick off the whole holiday shopping scene by handing over two $50 gift cards that can be spent on gifts, festive seasonal decor, or whatever else tickles your fancy.

TJMaxx Xmas Stuff

We’ve always loved snagging cheap finds for our house at both stores – like the nailhead trimmed ottoman in our bedroom (from T.J. Maxx) and just about every pillow in our den (from Marshalls).

TJMaxx Our House

But enough about us. Here’s how you can enter to win one of the two gift cards that are up for grabs:

  • PRIZE: A $50 gift card good at T.J. Maxx and Marshalls
  • TO ENTER: Comment on this post with the words “MAXX ME!” and…
  • BONUS QUESTION: …let’s talk about holiday shopping lists. What’s on the top of your list for yourself? And what are you most excited to be giving?
  • GIVEAWAY CLOSES: Wednesday, December 1st at 8pm EST
  • NUMBER OF WINNERS: Two
  • PRIZE SHIPS: The 48 contiguous United States
  • USUAL STUFF: One entry per e-mail address is permitted. The winners will be selected using random.org and announced on Thursday as an update to this post. That’s right, come right back here Thursday morning for the announcement of our winner. Good luck…

******************************

And our two very lucky winners (as selected by random.org) are… Anna (who’s got her eye on boots for herself and a globe for her bro) and Kellie C (who’s looking forward to the painting and wainscoting being gifted by her husband) Congrats you two!

Note: We weren’t paid or perk’d for hosting this giveaway, we just take them on to reward our lovely readers! See our Giveaway FAQs page for more info. Pics from T.J. Maxx and Marshalls.

    MAXX ME!!!!

    The Top of my Christmas list is a Kindle or Nook or some other E-Reader!!!! I’m so excited!! And my Hubby and I have vowed to exchange 1 gift so that we can use our money to make others Christmas brighter this year. We seem to have ran into more than ever friends/family members that are having a tough year. Most have small children so we have a long list of “secret Santa” gifts to buy, since we don’t want any of the credit for buying the items! Merry Christmas!

    There’s nothing huge I’m really wanting this year, so I’m most excited about making gifts for family and friends! I’ve always loved making gifts since I was a child. I’m painting a few canvases for my mom and friends and I really hope they like them! :)

    I haven’t really thought about a gift for myself, but I would love some extra Maxx Cash to continue the slow process of living room decoration.

    I’m going all out this year with some pretty big gifts for my family! Can’t wait!

    I (oddly) couldn’t think of one thing to ask for for Christmas, partly b/c my brain is consumed with BABIES (due any day), and partly b/c I have expensive taste and can’t bring myself to ask for the Tiffany bag I have my eye on…

    I’m most excited to give pictures of the bebes once they’re here, taken by my talented husband, to the grandparents and aunt and uncle!
